Definitions

  • Nylon can be dyed with acid dyes and therefore it can also be stained by natural or artificial acid dyes existing in some foods and drinks when they are spilled on nylon fabrics or carpets.
  • the current way of avoiding such staining is to topically apply to the surface of the filaments materials which function as stain-blockers or stain-resist agents, thus preventing acid stains from permanently coloring the yarn.
  • Such treatment can be costly.
  • pigments While some pigments can be mixed easily into the nylon without adversely affecting the filament spinning operation, most pigments cause some difficulties while being mixed into the nylon or in subsequent spinning and drawing operations.
  • organic pigments cross link nylon, raise its viscosity, form spherulites which weaken the fibers and cause increased draw tension and filament breaks.
  • Many inorganic pigments depolymerize the nylon, raise the number of amine ends (thereby increasing the susceptibility of the nylon to acid dye stains), lower the viscosity and also form spherulites.
  • pigments containing iron oxide or zinc ferrite and particularly a combination of the two give very poor operability. Either type of pigment in large particles weakens the fibers, clogs the spinning pack filters and causes breaks.
  • very finely divided pigment agglomerates to form larger masses of varying size, causing the same problems as large particles, but such masses also color the polymer unevenly and less effectively due to poor dispersion of the pigment in the polymer.
  • the depolymerization caused by inorganic pigments is usually worse in the processing of nylon 6,6 than in nylon 6 because of the higher melting temperature of nylon 6,6 and the more reactive nature of nylon 6,6.
  • Ultraviolet light degrades nylon, and the degradation is accelerated by the presence of certain pigments, particularly metal oxides such as titanium dioxide.
  • certain pigments particularly metal oxides such as titanium dioxide.
  • copper in various forms is often added to the polymer, but a portion of the copper deposits on internal surfaces of equipment which contacts the polymer. Such difficulty is disclosed in Elbert et al. U.S. Patent No. 3,565,910.
  • an amount of copper which is effective in preventing degradation of the polymer by ultraviolet light also causes poor spinning performance. The combination of pigment and copper is still worse.
  • nylon-forming monomer(s) certain materials which confer cationic dyeability on nylon, such as aromatic sulfonates or their alkali metal salts, polymerizing the nylon-forming salt to form a copolymer, mixing pigment into the molten copolymer, and then spinning the pigment/polymer blend into a fiber
  • pigmented nylon yarns may be made which not only resist staining by acid dyes but also can be made from a wide range of pigments with greatly reduced operability problems. It is particularly beneficial in dispersing finely-divided pigments in the nylon, making the coloration more uniform and using less pigment, encouraging the formation of small particles instead of large.
  • cationic dyeability additives improves the operability of polymer containing both pigment and copper to an acceptable level. Consequently, the presence of the cationic dyeability additives allows for the use of up to 200 parts per million (ppm), preferably 10 to 100 ppm, and most preferably 40-100 ppm of copper in the form of cuprous or cupric ions to be added to the nylon salt prior to polymerization in order to provide, without significant operability problems, stability against ultra-violet light degradation.
  • ppm parts per million
  • Suitable cationic dye additives which may be used to produce the stain-resistant yarns of this invention include those aromatic sulfonates and their alkali metal salts which are capable of copolymerizing with polyamide-forming raw materials.
  • aromatic sulfonates and their alkali metal salts which are capable of copolymerizing with polyamide-forming raw materials.
  • examples of such compounds include sulfonated dicarboxylic acids and the diesters of such diacids, with the most preferred additive being the alkali metal salts of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid,
  • stain-resistant refers to fibers or carpets made therefrom having a stain-rating of 4 or 5 as determined according to any of the Stain Tests described more fully hereinafter.
  • additive 1-2 weight percent
  • amounts of cationic dyeability additive between 0.25 and 1 percent are effective in preventing staining or operability problems in many cases, while 1-2 weight percent is satisfactory for most combinations of pigment and copper. Up to 4 percent may be needed for severe problems, but above that level the additive itself begins to lower the relative viscosity of the polymer, give poorer operability, and show staining from disperse dyes.
  • the fibers of this invention are uniformly stain-resistant and do not require topical treatment to impart stain-resistance. As such, problems previously encountered in making hollow-filament, stain-resistant fibers may be avoided.
  • topical stain-resist agents when applied to hollow-filament fibers did not adequately penetrate into the interior voids of the filaments. When subsequently exposed to staining agents which seeped into the voids, visible staining could be detected.
  • the fibers of this invention made stain-resistant based upon modification to the polymer chain, overcome this drawback in topically imparting stain-resistance to hollow filaments.
  • the present cationic dyeability additives can be said to function as dispersants, facilitating the mixing of pigments uniformly into the polymer.
  • dispersants have usually been incorporated in the pigment concentrate with the pigment.
  • the cationic dyeability additive is added to the other ingredients at the salt stage, before polymerization and before pigment is added.
  • a wide range of both organic and inorganic pigments may be added to the modified nylon copolymers of this invention.
  • the pigments are generally introduced in the form of a concentrate formulation containing one or more "pure" pigments, the number, color and proportion of which are based on the final color shade desired, as well as other materials such as lubricants and polymeric additives, including various types of nylon. With respect to those containing nylon polymers, it has now been found that the stain rating after washing of products of this invention is enhanced by using pigment concentrates containing less than about 40% nylon 6.
  • the products of this invention are generally characterized by having lower lightness values than fibers which are made without the addition of any pigment.
  • lightness is measured using the CIE 1976 CIELAB L * metric lightness function as standardized by CIE, the Commission Internacional de L'Eclairage.
  • the lightness of uncolored nylon fibers copolymerized with the cationic dye additive 5-sulfoisophthalic acid is greater than 88.
  • the inorganic white pigment titanium dioxide which has long been used in small quantities as a delustering agent for nylon, generally being introduced into the manufacturing process as an additive prior to polymerization, serves to maintain or raise the lightness of such fibers even higher.
  • the process embodiments of this invention are useful in coloring and providing stain resistance to all types of nylon, including, without limitation, both nylon 6 and nylon 6,6, as well as nylon copolymers.
  • nylon copolymers made using the cationic dye additives described herein may be compounded with pigments to form stain-resistant, pigmented nylon resins useful in a wide variety of non-fiber applications including, for example, films and blow-molded products.
  • a staining agent cherry-flavored sugar-sweetened Kool-Aid® (sold commercially), is prepared by mixing 45 gms ( ⁇ 1) of Kool-Aid® in 500 cc of water, and allowed to reach room temperature, i.e., 75°F ( ⁇ 5°F) or 24°C ( ⁇ 3°C), before using.
  • the carpet sample is placed on a flat, non-absorbent surface; 20 ml of Kool-Aid® are poured onto the carpet specimen from a height of 12 inches (30 cm) above the carpet surface, and the specimen is then left undisturbed for a period of 24 hours.
  • a cylinder approximately two inches (5 cm) in diameter may be placed on the carpet and the stain may be poured through it.
  • a detergent cleaning solution (15 gms ( ⁇ 1) of TIDE detergent mixed in 1000 cc of water, and also allowed to reach room temperature before using), is applied with a clean white cloth or a sponge directly to the spot, gently rubbing the pile from left to right and then reversing the direction from right to left. The entire stain is treated, all the way to the bottom of the pile, and then the blotting is repeated.
  • the cold water treatment is repeated, and the carpet is blotted thoroughly, to remove the stain and also the cleaning solution, so the carpet does not feel sticky or soapy.
  • the cold water and detergent cleaning steps are repeated until the stain is no longer visible, or no further progress can be achieved.
  • the carpet is blotted completely to absorb all the moisture.
  • a stain-rating of 5 is excellent, showing excellent stain-resistance, where 1 is a poor rating, showing heavy staining. Although a rating of 5 is clearly preferred, a stain-rating of 4 is considered an indication of acceptable stain resistance.
  • the yarn is circular knit into tubing and a sample approximately 6 inches by 6 inches (15 cm by 15 cm) is cut from the tubing. It is then immersed completely in the same staining agent as used in Stain Test 1, worked to distribute the stain thoroughly throughout the sample, and then placed on a flat, non-absorbent surface for 24 hours. At that point, it is rinsed and evaluated as in Stain Test 1.
  • a detergent solution is prepared by adding 2.0 ⁇ 0.2 ounces of Duponol WAQE to one gallon (3.79 l) of water, adjusting the pH to 10 ⁇ 0.2 with a 10% solution of trisodium phosphate and allowing the solution to reach room temperature, 75°F ⁇ 5° (24°C ⁇ 3°).
  • a carpet sample is cut as in Test 1 and is immersed completely in the detergent solution for five minutes. Fresh detergent is used for each sample. The sample is then rinsed thoroughly in water, squeeze-dried, and placed in an extractor to remove excess solution.
  • the sample is then stained and evaluated as in Test 1.
  • Amine end levels are determined as described in U.S. Patent 3,730,685.
  • a copolymer of nylon 6,6 and 4% nylon 6 was formed by salt blending the ingredients and then polymerizing and cutting into flake for Control 1.
  • the copolymer had 66 parts per million of copper, added as cupric acetate.
  • Yarn Properties Most surprisingly, the tenacity of the yarns of Examples 1 and 2 were higher than Control 1, even though the relative viscosities were lower. Usually, lower RV is accompanied by lower tenacity.
  • Yarn Color Goal color level was achieved in Control 1 using 4.8 parts per hundred of concentrate, while only 4.2 pph and 4.5 pph were required for Examples 1 and 2 respectively. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that the cationic dye additive promotes better dispersion of the pigment, with a corresponding increase in tint strength.
  • Stain Resistance The shade of blue was sufficiently dark that stains were not likely to be visible, so the samples were not tested for stain resistance.
  • Nylon 6,6 polymer was prepared with 66 ppm copper added prior to polymerization in the form of cupric acetate.
  • the polymers of Examples 3 and 4 were copolymers made by adding 2% and 3% respectively of the sodium salt of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid to the 6,6 monomers prior to polymerization.
  • Control 2 was prepared without the cationic dyeability additive.
  • Each of these three polymers was then spun into fiber with 4.2% of a brown inorganic pigment concentrate added at the screw melter.
  • Control 1 a copolymer of nylon 6,6 and 4% nylon 6 was formed by salt blending the ingredients and then polymerizing and cutting into flake. For purposes of these examples this copolymer is referred to as Control 3.
  • the copolymer had 66 parts per million of copper, added as cupric acetate.
  • Example 5 and 6 the nylon 6 was omitted and 1% and 2% respectively of the cationic dyeability additive sodium salt of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid was added at the salt stage, i.e. prior to polymerization.
  • medium blue organic pigment was added at the screw melter.
  • Nylon 6,6 was prepared with no copper, 0.3% TiO2 and 2.15% of the cationic dye additive sodium salt of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid added at the salt stage for all items except controls 5 and 6 which had no cationic dye additive. Amine ends of the polymer flake were 40. Pigment concentrates as described in TABLE C were added at the screw melter and 1225 denier 64 filament yarn was spun and bulked in a manner well known to the art. The yarns were tufted into 1/10 inch (2.54 mm) gauge 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) pile height level loop carpets having 24 ounces (0.68 kg) of pile yarn per square yard (0.84 m2).
  • the "multipolymer” is Du Pont Elvamide 8063, a terpolymer of nylon 6/6,6/6,10 (46/34/20%).
  • Control 6 having no cationic dye modifier but containing a color concentrate had a very poor stain rating of 1 under both Stain Test 1 and Stain Test 2 and was very difficult to spin. The spinning pack pressure rose rapidly and the test had to be discontinued within a short time.
